What's the point of larping?

[Sprung]

I don't get the point of LARPing and having an "e-commerce" business. Hitting your first 10k month or whatever else. Sometimes this community reminds me of the COM/SIM community on TG, where larping is a way of life for some people there. JFL, there's nothing wrong with getting an education and going into a conventional career path.

It's a dopamine related problem + imposter syndrome. Much easier to sit there and LARP, as opposed to actually becoming what they're larping as. They actually get a kick, reward, and feel good by doing so. It's a shortcut, a hack to try and fill the void of being empty. No one doing anything worthy with their time has the opportunity to sit there and LARP on forums all day, it's extremely homosexual. This is why people who post motivational content, also aren't doing shit themselves. Everyone is giving out advice, without following their own. Jesters.

Yeah, I just think that time could be better spent on something as simple as hitting the gym. The gym is actually such a good place to lower social inhibition as well. You can go up to any guy in there, and they will start talking to you about diet/training.

Like I said, they're attempting to fill a void. That's all they're doing. And you're right. One tip tho, I don't recommend attempting to advance/date females in the gym. Overall just a terrible idea.

Yeah, I go around 3-4 AM, so not many girls my age to begin with. Usually it's older guys in there that are serious about lifting.

lol what's the point of anything tbh

i guess the gym is better than staring at a wall but like, it's all just temporary distractions before the inevitable. still gotta get those reps in though, might as well. otherwise you're just ropefuel waiting to happen.

@Sprung
lol yeah the 3-4 am crowd is diff. i think the point of larping, imo, is just to have a narrative. like, even if it's not real, it gives structure. kinda like how people follow sports teams. it's less about the actual outcome and more about the engagement with the narrative itself. if you don't have that, it's just drift.

 

[stigmaboy]

@kingofearth deadass

 

[stigmaboy]

lol this is a good take @Sprung

fr though hitting the gym is legit. lowers inhibitions and you get actual gains, can't really argue w that. plus the community in there is usually solid if you ask bout diet/training. way better than staring at a screen tbh.

 

[foidannihilator1488]

social status obviously

Who the hell is larping about ecom?

So fucking true man

When I started out with my business I was in a community with "like-minded people" who "also ran the same kind of services and builds" as me. Safe to say that theyre all fucking liars who watch one video and all of a sudden claim they're experts and consultants. You'd get more information trying to dig it out of your own ass than to talk to people like these. The ones building good stuff were the ones that were also never or barely active.

I'm not sure if homosexual is the right term to use as an insult but otherwise you're saying good stuff.

 

[kingofearth]

That's a true statement right there. The people actually doing shit are not talking about it 24/7. It's a lonely and quiet, never ending grind.

It's cause it is way easier to larp things instead of actually doing them

the point of larping is just trying to make someone feel insecure and bad about themselves i think

Larping until you make it
Works like manifestation and i think it works.

approaching girls in the gym is genuinely doable and is in fact fantasized about by women (ie. "gym crush" related memes online). you just genuinely would have to be at least in good shape + consistently receive ioi's from the same girl every time you see her at the gym

definitely need to be NT to do this, definitely cant be very pushy, and definitely need a good way to play off rejection so its not awkward every time you see them

ive never really talked to girls at the gym though. wish i could tho because they be hot af sometimes

I'd say the same if I also had a 26inch bidelt

haha bro no amount of shoulder width added increased the chances of me actually having the balls to cold approach a girl at the gym. id literally have to 1. not be focused on my training and 2. probably be on substances that are counter-intuitive to training
